Scarless Completion Thyroidectomy After Initial Transoral Approach for Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: How and When to Start?

Conclusions: The outcomes are encouraging and demonstrate the feasibility of scarless completion thyroidectomy after initial TOETVA. The re-TOETVA procedure should be completed within 14 days after the initial TOETVA procedure, TAA beyond 14 days, and re-TCA may be completed at any time. The cTOETVA techniques using re-TOETVA or TAA have better cosmetic results than re-TCA in oncological equivalency.
